Insomnia

INSOMNIA is about the suspended time of night, and the sense of freedom that comes with the absence of limits and constraints.

Night is like a dark sheet beneath which everything that weighs on us during the day begins to dissolve: routines, deadlines, urgencies, appointments.

At last, while everyone else is asleep, there is nothing left to check on the phone and no emergency that needs to be solved within the next few hours. Being awake at night offers a moment of grace, a form of release from the pressure of the day.
It is a sense of radical freedom, embraced by a welcoming darkness.

An accord of narcotic flowers, dominated by ylang-ylang and jasmine, evokes the feverish, intellectual beauty of nightlife. A sharp mineral facet recalls the strain in the eyes when the body is asking for sleep, but the mind refuses to surrender.

The radiance of the flowers is darkened by deep woods, creating a stark contrast between light and shadow. Finally, a subtle dose of indole introduces an animalic, carnal and ambiguous sensuality, making the accord even more intoxicating and seductive.
